It's Double Weather Awareness Week! Not only is this Severe Weather Awareness Week it is also National Air Quality Week. New York doesn't get thunderstorms and tornadoes with the frequency and ferocity seen in the Southeast and Midwest, but last summer's tornado in Brooklyn is a reminder that tornadoes can and do happen here.

No severe weather or air quality problems to worry about today. How about sunny and 60 degrees instead? Despite ending on a cool note, today's normal high is 66, April will wind up about 2.5 degrees warmer than average.

Better take this afternoon off if you want to enjoy the sun. The next several days are looking cloudy and rainy. An approaching warm front should lead to widespread rain tomorrow afternoon into Friday. For the weekend and early next week the forecast gets rather iffy. Iffy as in not very predictable. It seems as if the warm front will stall to the south of the city as it encounters a high pressure over New England. That means we'll be on a border that separates cool, cloudy, showery weather to the north from warmer, drier weather to the south.
